Today is International Women's Day and I must say that even in the past, there were women who made a difference...from Esther to Joan of Arc and even Florence Nightingale...they've changed history!

The irony might be for women to abolish this day once they deem equality to have been achieved.

Do women necessarily have to be better than men at their chosen career to make it to the top? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47511024

Esther-She informed Xerxes to save the people of Israel when it was under the rule of Persia. Joan of Arc-She fought in The Hundred Years War where mostly men fought wars. Florence Nightingale-She nursed many people to health during the Crimean War. There...Are You Happy Now? |

I posted about this on Facebook and many asked to share what I posted. Basically the gist was I had read someone saying "why International Women's Day when there is Mother's Day" and I told him that they aren't the same because not all women are mothers and stats show women are increasingly choosing not to have kids (I am one of those). Also, the reality is women are still discriminated against, and yet so many have made a difference in our lives.
